China House of China Cove

China House of China Cove
The China House

China House was a distinctive pink home located in Newport Beach, California. It was built in 1927 by a Pasadena, California resident whose wife loved Chinese architecture and culture.[1]

The bright pink home was for many a landmark to mariners upon making entrance to the Newport harbor. The home was built using elaborate scrolling and curved Chinese architecture that was based on the Buddhist belief that evil spirits could hide in straight lines. The home was built upon the rocks at the entrance of Newport Harbor.

China Cove, where the house once stood, got its name from the China House.

The China House was demolished in the 1980s.
